Trail Building & Maintenance:
Adopt-A-Trail

The HHC Knobstone Adopt-A-Trail System:

Responsibilities: Adopting is not complicated nor strenuous. Trails are subdivided into 2 to 5-mile sections. Monitors are required to walk their section four times a year, pruning brush, clearing obstacles, and calling in HHC crew help if storms create obstructions.
Simple Evaluation Forms Provided: Appalachian Mountain Club-type forms are given to monitors to evaluate trail conditions to submit to the HHC Trail Monitor.
How To: To find out about responsibilities, training, and how to sign up for a section, contact the HHC at pwbanta@onemain.com and give your address (and preferred trail if you have one).

Property-Affiliated Trail Support Groups:

The HHC is concerned about maintenance on all backcountry trails in Indiana, and would like to help local groups get organized and trained to help keep them in shape. Many groups are active now. Please contact one of those listed here. If a group near you is active and is not listed here, please e-mail the HHC at hikers@scican.net to list it and increase its support base!
